    Danriel Gabrunzio’s compatriots
    concoct new courtships
    to intrigue
    the myriad-fleshed Mistress
    of “the Celebrated”
    The antique envious thunder
    of Latin littérateurs
    rivaling Gabrunzio’s satiety
    burst in a manifesto
    notifying women’s wombs
    of Man’s immediate agamogenesis
    .                 .                 .                 Insurance
    of his spiritual integrity
    against the carnivorous courtesan
    .                 .                 .                 Manifesto
    of the flabbergast movement
    hurled by the leader Raminetti
    to crash upon the audacious lightning
    of Gabrunzio’s fashions in lechery
    .       .       .      and wheedle its inevitable way
    to the “excepted” woman’s heart
    her cautious pride
    extorting betrayal
    of Woman wholesale
    to warrant her surrender
    with a sense of        .        .        .        Victory
    Raminetti
    cracked the whip of the circus-master
    astride a prismatic locomotive
    ramping the tottering platform
    of the Arts
    of which this conjuring commercial traveller
    imported some novelties from
    Paris in his pocket            .            .            .
    souvenirs for his disciples
    to flaunt
    at his dynamic carnival
    The erudite Bapini
    experimenting
    in auto-hypnotic God-head
    on a mountain
    rolls off as Raminetti’s plastic velocity
    explodes his crust
    of library dust
    and hurrying threatening nakedness
    to a vermilion ambush
    in flabbergastism
    .       .       .       he kisses Raminetti
    full on his oratory
    in the arena
    rather fancying Himself
    in the awesome proportions
    of an eclectic mother-in-law
    to a raw ménage.
    Thus academically chaperoned
    the flabbergasts
    blaze from obscurity
    to deny their creed in cosy corners
    to every feminine opportunity
    and Raminetti
    anxious to get a move on this beating-Gabrunzio-business
    possesses the women of two generations
    except a few
    who jump the train at the next station            .            .            .
    .       .       .       while the competitive Bapini
    publishes a pretty comment
    involving woman in the plumber’s art
    and advertises
    his ugliness as an excellent aphrodisiac
    *      *      *      *
    Shall manoeuvres in the new manner
    pass unremarked?
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â .          .          .
    These amusing men
    discover in their mail
    duplicate petitions
    to be the lurid mother of “their” flabbergast child
    from Nima Lyo, alias Anim Yol, alias
    Imna Oly
    (secret service buffoon to the Woman’s Cause)
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â .          .          .          .
    While flabbergastism boils over
    and Ram: and Bap:
    avoid each other’s sounds
    This Duplex-Conquest
    claims a “sort of success”
    for the Gabrunzio
